Site News :: DSL v4.0



I have posted modules for 2.4.31 that I had compiled but did not make it into the final core system. They might be useful for some.

when i use imagemagick, i get a segmentation fault... what now?

Try it in /tmp, like the example, or anywhere where you have write permission.

Good find. Thanks for reporting. Fluxbox didn't get all the attention that it should. I tested base norestore and fluxbox/mydsl.menu, a non-preexisting file is created dsl.staff. However when loading extensions during boot, the permission becomes root.root. That is what you have experienced. I did not see this during the base norestore testing. And now I am running 4.1alpha1 in which mydsl.menu has been relocated away from /home/dsl and is now a preexisting file with proper permissions. Your posted patch is correct and necessary for 4.0.

When can we expect 4.1?
Thanks!

I will likely post DSL v4.1 RC1 early next week.
So far....

Added 'toram' to grub menu 'checkfs' for frugal installs

Fixed bug with permissions

Added mini icons to jwm menu for mydsl extensions that have an icon

Added new boot option "user=name", you will be able to run DSL as user that you specify. Many, many files and system structure have been changed to implement this feature.

Plus more, if I get time.

So 4.0 never made it out of beta?
